About Me

Well, let's see, this need not be drawn-out. I like fast cars and fat cats, either one or both will do. I miss my boys from Philly, and I don't get to hang with my NY crowd as much as I'd like to, so I spend a lot of time going on photography expeditions and turning wrenches in the backyard. I love art, music, and world foods. I'm attracted to bright colors and moving parts. I don't have any tattoo's because I haven't been happy with anything I've drawn up so far that I could stand waking up to every morning. My body, my art. Kissing in the rain is cool. I want to own a dog some day, possibly a rottie named Bismark. Dessert is played out, finish the main course. Don't stare and the sun, and give a courtesy flush when applicable. Killian's is my favorite, especially when he brings along his friend José. Drop me a line, I love to fish.

it's been a good while...

...since I've had a chance to do any writing. I wrote this on the bus to work today, and I'm not sure what it stems from, but felt good to get it out. It's pretty traditional in format and rhymn schem...

on point

Coming home on the bus from work today, I watched a young woman between the crack in the seats as she worked on her crochet. She pulled from her bag a tightly knotted pale blue yarn, and meticulously ...
